One of the great places to spend a family vacation is Orlando, Florida. This is one of the best places to spend time with family especially with kids. They will surely love this place but vacationing here needs to be carefully planned. There are plenty of thrills to experience here and one week is just not enough. You need to know how to squeeze your time to have the most memorable memories you can get.
A place which is a must-see for all is Seaworld Orlando. Once you’ve been here you’ll never look at the sea and its incredible inhabitants the same way again. You’ll get up-close encounters with the different incredible collection of sea inhabitants like touching a stingray or slipping into the water with a beluga whale.
Another must-see attraction at Seaworld Orlando is Believe. This is a great show that features Shamu.
Make a list of the amazing theme parks in Orlando that you want to visit. If you are bringing along with you your kids be prepared for their actions and excitements as they will be swayed by the actions, thrills and excitements that these theme parks are offering. The Universal Studios is where you will experience going beyond the screen and jump into the action of the 4D movies. For first timers, spending time at this theme part is really worth an adventure. This park is full of high-powered excitement. Its featured attractions are the Simpsons Ride, Shrek-4D, Revenge of the Mummy, Men in Black, and E.T. Adventure. You will definitely have great fun with your kids.
If you or your kids love the rides then come and experience cutting edge rides at Orlando’s Islands of Adventure. This theme park has a lot of attractions too which brings to life your favorite stories, cartoons, and comic book heroes to name a few.
Come early to Magic Kingdom and watch the opening show where you will get to see Snow White, Cinderella, Mikey Mouse and more. It’s fun to see them dance and sing.
And if you’ve heard of “Pirates of the Caribbean” it is one of Magic Kingdom’s popular attractions based on the movie. Experience the ride which has gone even better with the addition of Captain Jack Sparrow. The imposing fortress at the end of Adventureland is home to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. The queue twists and turns in a darkened and cool underground cavern will lead you to the boat ride. Once on board, you’ll float through a cave that leads to a quick and dark plunge. As your boat enters be on the look out for Captain Jack Sparrow. If you’ll miss him you’ll miss the thrill. So look out left and right and don’t miss one of those barrels. He will pop up from there. Your ten minutes here will be full of fun and excitement.
Don’t miss Animal Kingdom’s Kilimanjaro Safaris too where you will experience riding off into the savannah in an open-air safari vehicle for a thrilling animal-filled African expedition. The twists and turns of the safari vehicle is fun and exciting as you watch animals roam freely across acres of savannah, rivers and rocky hills. If you are lucky enough you may even catch a glimpse of one of their baby animals. One caution though is that you must be in good health if you want to experience this ride.
Explore the park and get up close and personal to love birds like this.
A visit to Orlando is not complete without a trip to the Kennedy Space Center. It’s just east of Orlando’s most popular attractions. Though the entrance fee is quite expensive the visit would be an intellectual experience for adults and kids. You will get to see NASA’s launch headquarters, tour the launch areas, train in spaceflight simulators and if you are fortunate enough view an actual launch.
